We Are All Americans

We are all under the same rights as one another.

We Are All Americans
Lauren Parramore

To start off I wanna say, We are ALL Americans. We all have the same rights. We have the right to vote and we also have the right to speak what we want, but when you speak remember that WE are ALL Americans.

As of yesterday, January 20, 2017, we have a new President. This may offend some people, but what we as Americans need to realize is, WE are ALL in this together. You may not have voted for President Trump, but he is your President.

As I got on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook yesterday, I was so ashamed.. I was ashamed in who we have become and what we continue to show this world. What people don't realize is their protesting is only hurting the people around them. President Trump doesn't care that you are throwing trash cans around, crying while he's sworn in or holding up signs. He was elected as our President and there is nothing you can do about it.

If you voted for a different candidate, that is fine, but that doesn't mean you can hurt the others around you.

As for me, I voted for President Trump. I believed in him as a man and a leader. You may have voted for Hillary and you may have believed in her, but realize that not everyone is gonna have the same views as you.

This article will more than likely offend a few to many people, but honestly I do NOT care. I am tired of people believing that just because they are offended by a decision, opinion, or even a post, they can say hurtful things to one another or do hurtful things.

As the next 4 years play out, we can only hope for the best for our country. We are ALL Americans and we all have the same rights.

I believe in our nation and I believe that we will overcome the division that is becoming so clear to everyone else in the world. The U.S. has always shown a strong hand to other nations, until now.

When you go out, and voice your opinion to others, just remember, We are ALL Americans and we ALL live under the same rights and regulations.

GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
